Course Description

In this seminar, we will learn the system of input-output tables which show the relation among industrial sectors in one nation through their transactions and how to analyze them by reviewing several literatures. While mostly the Japan input-output tables compiled by the Japanese Government will be used, the international input-output tables might be taken up for more global economic analysis if we have enough time.
Steps to go forward this seminar:
①To learn the system of an input-output table based on a Japan input-output table.
②To learn some necessary part of linear algebra for I/O analysis and related Excel manipulation.
③To review several literatures related to I/O analyses.
④To conduct an I/O analysis on a certain topic.
⑤To make a short paper related to an I/O analysis
Spring term will cover ①～③、and autumn term will be for ④~⑤.
